I have a 1980 Distillate with an RF upgrade,what’s everyone using for wireless rig? I’ve tried 4 different 1/4” plug ins and they weren’t reliable

I've been using the WIC Pra wireless for several years now with no issues.  The company is now called "Audality" and their M1 wireless works for guitar and bass.   But it's not cheap at about $370.  More recently, there are a lot of inexpensive units on the market.  The Lekato 5.8gHz unit, at around $55, gets very good reviews.

Shure GLXD. Love it. Totally reliable, easy to use, and decent range.

And the Carvin wireless looks really simple with one 1/4” plug for your instrument, and one for your amp. Says 4.5 hours power with 200 ft range.

The Carvin wireless unit is similar to a bunch of them that are currently being manufactured in China.  In fact, the same one as the Carvin, with different graphics,  was on Amazon for awhile, but now out of stock.  The Lekato unit I mentioned above is very similar to the Carvin unit.  The key these days appears to be to get one that works at the 5.8 gHz frequency.

I also have been using the WIC Pra wireless for several years now with no issues. Decent battery life and rechargeable through USB, so no disposable batteries.
